Results of Cajeput EO in henna paste ....

I mixed up just Castle Art henna with lemon juice, left it overnight
and just before putting it in the cone,I added 1/2 tsp of Cajeput EO,
Wyndmere brand, to 1 1/2 very heaping tablespoons of henna paste. I
hennaed, and sealed witth New Skin . One section of henna was removed
10 minutes after application, the rest stayed on overnight .... no
wrap. 36 hours after paste removal, the 10 minute stain is
bittersweet/orange, and the overnight stain is dark chestnut brown on
the top of my foot, with some sections espresso brown. The stains on
the sole of my foot are identical in color to the top of the foot.
The henna up my shin to mid calf is dark acorn shell color ...

There is a change in paste texture beginning 1/2 our after adding the
terpine-heavy EO's that I don't care for .... it becomes less stringy
and silky, so pattern delicacy is impared. Can't complain about the
results for non-palm non-sole non-wrap non-patient requirememts,
though!
